rME SAN FRANCISCO SENSATION.

Two years ago DR.. ]. Milton Bowers
was accused of poisoning his wife In San
Francisco. He was tried for the crime
and convicted, and is now under sentence
Of death awaiting the decision OF the Su-
preme Court, to which the case was ap-
pealed. Last Sunday the body OF henry
Benhayon, brother of Mrs. Bowers. was
found dead in Geary Street lodging
house. The surroundings indicated ahat
no had committed suicide, and papers
found on the body stated that he had
poisoned his sister. The truth of this
statement was doubted by many, and the
theory was advanced that Benhayon, who
WAS a weak minded young man, was
forced to write the confession after which
he was poisoned to convey the idea that
he had committed suicide. Circum-
stances connected with the renting OF the
room in which Benhayon's llfeless body
was found, led the authorities to suspect
that he had been murdered and that a
book agent named Demmig was imrli-
Gated in the murder. Demmig denied
all knowledge of the affair at first, but
subsequently, admitted that he had rented
she room in which Benhayon's body was
found, and according to dispatch re.
ceived this morning, druggist has iden-
aified him as person to whom he sold a
deadly poison.
The developments now indicate that
Benhayon was the victim OF deep-laid
plot to save Bowers, the evidence of
whose guilt, though strong. was circum.
stantial, and the outcome of the remark.
able affair is awaited with considerable
anxiety.

CONFEDERATE VETERANS.

A State Fair is being held at Macon
Georgia. The Fair was made the occa-
sion for large gathering of people from
all parts of the State, and Jefferson Davis
was invited to attend and deliver an ad.
dress. Yesterday thirty thousand vet
Grams from various parts of the South had
oession, which was reviewed by jeff
Davis.
Though the sentiment of the South to-
day, judging from the tone OF the press
and prominent public men, is as stroagly
In favor of the Union as that of the
North, an effort will be made by
politicians in States in which elections
are to be held next month, to create the
suppression that secession ideas prevail in
the South to as great an extent as during
xhe war, and that the review of veterans
by JEFF Davis is conclusive proof of the
TACT.
A meeting ct which JEFF Davis is a
psominent figure. seems to affect certain
partisans in the United States about the
aame as Land League meeting in Ire
land does the Tories, and If they could
only pass Coercion Act, making such
meetings unlawful, gatherings like that
at Macon would be prohibited by bayo-
nets, though the prominent men of the
South, with the exception Of JEFF Davis,
profess as much devotion to the Union as
those of any other section of the country.

The Manchester Shooting Case.

The case of Lewis Kidd, charged with
shooting Thomas Calligan June 26th last,
was continued in the Hastings Court Of
Manchester yesterday
Hon. George d. Wise, who had been Of
counsel for the defence, was compelled to
withdraw, as he had to leave for Wash
ington
The prisoner is represented by Judge
William |. Clopton and Mr.. Samuel W.
Page. The prosecution was conducted
by Mr. Meade Haskins.
Soon after the court opened, Mr.. Lewis
Kidd the accused, was put upon the
stand. He described all that took place
in a very clear manner. He acknowl-
edged shooting Calligan, but said he did
it because he thought the latter meant to
kill his father AS the shooting occurred
before the TINES was established, it may
be well to state the facts briefly.
There had been bad blood between
Calligan and Lewis Kidd. On the even
ing in question they and Mr. William
Kidd, father of the prisoner, met at
MeTritts saloon. A triangular" dispute
arose, words were banded and finally
blows, and in the. m6lee yound Kidd shot
Callgan Liquor was, no doubt, more at
the bottom of the trouble than real
malice. Both young men were well
known, and great sympathy has been
expressed for the families of each, who
have been plunged into such deep trouble
on sccount OF the unfortunate affair.
After Kidd had testified, several wit
nesses for the defence and prosecution
were introduced At o'clock all the
evidence had been heard Counsel on
both sides offered instructions, all of
which were refused, the court substituting
instructions OF its own Att o'clock a
recess was taken for supper until $50,
when court reassembled and the case
was submitted to the jury without argu-
ment.
The jury came into the court at 1913,
and being unable TO agree, were adjourned
over until 10 o'clock this morning

Unruly witnesses.

p. Antoni, Mrs. Minnie Antoni, and
Mary Antoni, their daughter, were before
the Police Court yesterday morning on
the charge of assaulting and abusing
Armada Henry.
Antoni spoke mostly in Italian and
Henry in German, so the services of an
Interpreter were needed One was there
fore secured and sworn to translate
truly all that was said.
1t appeared from the testimony that
Antoni rents rooms from Henry, who
lives in the same house with them. Henry
claimed that Antoni owed him So for
rent, which AntOni denied, saying that
the amount had been paid once, and that
he did not propose to pay it second
time. Henry thereupon secured a civil
warrant for the amount. This enraged
the whole Antoni family, and they de-
clared their intention of getting even "
with him.
While Henry was testifying yesterday
morning, Antoni called him "a liar," for
which the Police Justice promptly fined
him (Antoni) So, which he at once paid.
A few minutes afterwards his daughter,
Minnie Antoni, called Henry bare
faced liar" She was ordered over to the
prisoners box, where, after sitting for a
short while, she was discharged with an
admOnition.

1t is indeed dark cloud that has no
silver lining. The sad and serious part OF
the fire has been given, good story on
one OF our local knights of the diamond
will now be given.
On Sunday night certain fireman came
to this bold base-balist and asked him
would he, as a matter OF favor, substitute
for him few days while he took trip
to the country. The batsman replied,
Lend me your gum coat, and | will"
He was taken at his word, and the fire
man left for the rural districts.
Yesterday morning, in his sleep, the
accommodating sui" heard the bell strike
six, and in few moments IA. He was
just dreaming that he was playing in
a fourteen inning tie, and had won the
game by making six home runs, when he
was reused by the cry of " fire !" Jump
ing from his bed, he pulled on his clothes,
and in the twinkling Of an eye had "slid "
to the base" of the stairs. He then start
ed on run from home" and succeeded
in catching the apparatus ION the fly as
it came "out" of the house. In a few
seconds he was at the fire, and here he
worked like Trojan shoveling coal. In
the meantime wondering at the curious
chance which had caused an alarm to be
turned in less than twelve hours after his
friend left town, while before that there
had been no fire for nearly week. Such
is life; and when last seen the perspiration
and coal dust were mingling on his brow,
and he was remarking that though "some
players didn't believe in striking; that
under the circumstances it was perfectly
iustifable."
